nonstop since. Wednesday teams began returning again and we are currently
living in a hotel in Atlanta. Our schedule will be as such-receive teams at
airport, take shuttle to hotel, eat together, debrief the teams' time on the
field, go to bed, wake up early, take students to the airport, make sure they

Anything specific?" I asked.
"Heart pains," explained the translator.
"May I touch you?"
She nodded.
I placed my hand on her heart, asked God to heal her
physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually in the name of Jesus, the
Stronger Man who lives within us.

She pointed at the translator and said, "I want them to pray
for me."
I called the team over and repeated the previous prayer.
